Bottom dial Fat Boy
Got lucky today and found a user grade bottom dial Gillette Fat Boy with an F4 date code. It was at a local antique store. Gave it a quick clean and will put it to work as the adjustments appear to work.

Wow! A rare and valuable find? Seems I have seen those go for a pretty penny.
Weren't those kind of prototypes, Bob?

Like most good things they show up when you least expect them to and aren't really looking for them. This one and the toggle I have happened like that. Good luck in the hunt. Originally Posted by tintin

I guess as rare as a toggle Gillette both being not in production very long. Yup, if by a pretty penny you mean silly money. I must have done something right lately because the karma was sure working for me. I had not been into this store in over a month and there it was in with all the other DEs. I just could not turn it down for the equivalent of about $14 US tax in. Originally Posted by sharptonn
